I was at the gun show last weekend and I saw this pistol. Never had heard or seen of one of them before. I asked the fellow and he replied they had only been making them for 9mo.-1yr. So I had to pick it up and look at it. First thing that hit me was, "Wow this fits my hand nicely!". Second was the trigger. Anyways took it to the range and shot about 100rds. I started out with my handloads, but they were to harsh on my hand, so I switched to some factory Blazer. Shoots descent, and is fairly accurate at 10yds. Just seeing if anyone else has one. I know that newly produced weapons seem to have bugs, but she comes with a lifetime warrenty. Price was 246.00 out the door...

A friend bought one and it does seem a whole lot like a Kel-Tec. I field-stripped it as per the instruction manual and then we could not get it put back together for all the tea in china! Something had slipped somewhere, and he eventually sent it to Skyy for repairs, which they did for free. Because of this I never got to shoot it, but I had to wonder about it because of this incident.

Cheap copy of the Kel-Tec P11. Supposedly a disgruntled former Kel-Tec employee was behind this. Same crappy trigger pull. I've read stories of them self-destructing after a very few rounds (M2Carbine on Glocktalk for one). I'm surprised their still even in business. The forum was KTOG.org where the VP came and proclaimed himself to be a satisfied customer with NO ties to Skyy...and got called out on it. If I remember right, the Prez found out and made him go correct things.

I looked at them some time ago. The gun store by me sold 10 of them. 9 of them came back broken within 2 months. I guess the newer ones are supposed be better because of less internal plastic parts. The guy that worked at the gun store told me to stay away from them. I really hope that yours works out for you. There is NOTHING worse than a new gun with problems(speaking from experience)

this is my first time of hearing about it. the finish looks nice, and the grips seem to look like it would fit my hand well. Also, i like the compact look of it..and the safety bar on there. Very nice snag you got..and for a reasonable price. Id shoot it more...and try carrying it on as ccw.

There were two big initial problems; one was due to a batch of material improperly spec'd (supplier's fault, not manufacturer's) and too close a tolerance on one section of the slide. These SCCY quickly remedied, even replacing whole pistols. No problems of the same kind from later pistols. Their customer service is tops in these, from 99% of the reports I've read (SCCY forums). I've had ONE problem, and it was an extra mag I bought from an individual.

Truly, it's no more a "Kel-Tec knock off" than Kel-Tec's was a knock-off of earlier designs, since there's nothing really original about the Kel-Tec. BOTH are what they are - $200 CCW/BUG's. Neither are Kimbers, Colts, Glocks, etc.. and they're not designed to be. For a $200 pistol, both are very good.It's the "Ford-vs-Chevy" argument, but moved to these pistols.

As for the "unnecessary safety", it was a "necessary evil" preemptive move for 50-State compliance. Gun haters don't understand anything except "That pistol doesn't have a safety!" It's easily removable for folks that don't want it.

That's what I mean about having the "facts" wrong....what happened has aboslutely zero to do with the CPX-1 pistol itself, or the SCCY company.

As I said, I've not had any problems with mine. I've shot enough ammo through it to deem it reliable for carry. As soon as I get another weapon, it'll be my BUG for daily carry and my "Sunday suit" carry.

I haven't bought one yet but have handled a few and it is quite comfortable in my hand. One of our techs was looking for a conceal carry gun and I pointed him towards one and he loves it. They are about $270 here + tax so they are a little to high for my taste. I don't care for the safety lever being plastic though, even on a plastic pistol.
